[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't outright resent her but she was wrong to complain about those things to you.[/quote]

Wtf? At some point in time a parent has to be tell their child the honest truth about their existence and what brought them here.

Was her mother suppose to lie? [/quote]

The opinion of the mother is not “truth”. If you have never lived this situation then you may not understand. Are you so naive to think that mothers never badmouth fathers and drive a wedge between their kids? There is a whole world of experience out there that would shock you.[/quote]

Yeah yeah, we all get our kids a therapist to deal with setting boundaries with the delinquent father who keeps letting them down over and over, lying and omitting, gaslighting his own kids. It’s truly sad.  They assume they can trust and rely on their parents and suffer from the opposition over and over again until they finally wake up and realize they cannot count on them. Can’t count on the charm story, the false promises, the I’ll do better over and over.  Just hope they wake up before they date for marriage and marry the same delinquent profile, since that’s the love they know.  The push and pull, the drama, the lies, always being hopeful that next time will be different. The power imbalance of a “parent” and kid, and teen, and young adult. Society tells them their parent knows best, their parent is there for them, so much, that they can’t see their parent is indeed not there for them in any way but an occasional physical presence when convenient.[/quote]
